Not true, this was just a normal neutralisation.Quote:

haha Tänak did break in the end before the finish not to be fastest
Yep he did it, so that he doesn't open.
Tanak +1,6
Yep, co-driver told him how much to slow to avoid being 1st car in Sardegna.Quote:

Wow, what a power stage, was funny to see Ogier mad because he knows now he'll open the road for everyone else in Sardegna.
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS, YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS, YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
that was a hard hard fought victory, yesterday he had only two trouble free stages and had to manage the car basically the whole day but did it brilliantly.
mega, so happy.

What a rally for tactics and incidents. And what drama on the PS... incredible.
And after all that it's the Big 3 that are 1-2-3 again.
Tanak fastest but good speed from Neuville and especially after the massive Chile crash. And Ogier just picks his way through snd gets a good finish and wins the PS yet again.
Latvala has been given 6th time on power stage and he got past Kopecky with that
This is the sound of a Meeke fan wondering why.
* opens bottle of Chateau Musar 2011 and sobs into it *
So Latvala is up to the 7th now, whats the manufacturers standings after that? wrc.com hasnt updated yet...
That's huge!Quote:

That was simple not good enough by Meeke... very frustrating.
Meeke's 1st retirement of 2019Quote:

I think Meeke is top equal for completed rallies.Quote:

Most of the year we've had this new sensible Kris, the one who reacts to punctures and brake failures and so on by doing the sensible thing to get the most points he can under the circumstances. There was just the one crazy moment in Mexico, before this.
I think there's also a difference in the tone of Meeke's stage end interviews. In Monte it was just "I love this car so much and I love so much to be driving", now it's "f-king hell" and "simple stuff!" when things go wrong.
They at any case will know that. 4*4min=16min between Ogier and Tanak starts and stage time was 6:35 so you get 9min to calculate. Another reason is Meeke position. If Meeke stays its 12pts for Ogier -not 15 as it now. So that extra 3pts playing role to do tacticsQuote:

Especially with the state of mind he was in after the spin (Tommi commented on this on allive) . So for me it also looks like team fail as well.

Yes, exactly. Spins happen. It's overreacting to the spin that is a problem.Quote:

Latvala's onboard from SS12 is on wrc+.
Can't see any clear mistake. There is some impact on rocks at 0:50 and then again a nasty sounding impact on same side around 1:52 any of these two could have probably caused the issue.
Agreed. The honeymoon's definitely over.Quote:

Meeke at his worst for me, trying to reach the impossible (Neuville was never going to drop +7s in there) for some glory. It's what went wrong for him at Citroën with the C3 and now today. Mäkinen has some work to do with his approach, because evidently it's the same as it's been previously in situations like this. Meeke's win or bust approach is very admirable but it's at the same time what's dragging him down.
Anyway, quite an exciting event and Tänak drove it beautifully but he won't like the dampers hickups though. Neuville good after that big shunt and Ogier is just a podium-magnet. M-Sport scored quite nicely this event with both cars in top-5. Was also quite impressed with Greensmith until that unfortunate ending, he has far inferior experience compared to Tidemand and he made more of an impression than what Tidemand has done so far I would say.
Greensmith man of the rally for me.
Did not expect him to be so close to the two other Fords. Good job!
King of tactics complaining on something that didn't even happen...And he has his sources. What a parody!
Shots fired...Quote:

He'd have been my man of the rally if he'd finished, but all things considered, a solid debut. I'd rather he go out in style after setting some quick times like he did rather than fizzle out like Pontus.Quote:
